Generative AI is artificial intelligence capable of generating text, images and other types of content. What makes it a fantastic technology is that it democratizes AI, anyone can use it with as little as a text prompt, a sentence written in a natural language. There's no need for you to learn a language like Java or SQL to accomplish something worthwhile, all you need is to use your language, state what you want and out comes a suggestion from an AI model. The applications and impact for this is huge, you write or understand reports, write applications and much more, all in seconds.

Our speaker, Korey (Pace) Stegared-Pace builds things and teaches others to build with AI. He is a AI Developer Advocate for Microsoft based in Stockholm.

This will be an online event.

This session explores using Excel and Power BI together, not separately, to enhance dashboard and reporting applications. The session will discuss out-of-the-box features and third-party enhancements, like Excel in Business's free EiB ReportStudio Professional add-in for Excel 365. This tool allows dynamic interaction with Power BI data, enables the creation of static reports, facilitates deep audits of Power BI models without complex operations, and lets users package Excel reports as easy-to-use applications.
Our speaker Paul Martin has worked on over 400 successful implementations of Microsoft BI and Financial Reporting projects dating back to 2000, when Microsoft launched OLAP Services as part of SQL 2000 ! He recently presented an Excel Reporting session to the worldwide Power BI conference organised by Radacad and Microsoft. He ran the Worldwide Business Intelligence operation for Sage Group Plc and was part of the Gentia Management Team which took a UK based BI company to a successful IPO on the Nasdaq. He has worked with his team on adding value in Excel to Microsoft's BI offerings (now focused on Excel integrated with Power BI) to provide comprehensive analytics with integrated reporting.
